dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-1172:
----------------------------------------
Can this be achieved by setting min.replication to something larger than the
default value of 1? This means that the close call from the client will succeed
only if the namenode has received confirmation from at least 'min.replication'
number of replicas. (there could be performance overheads though)
> Blocks in newly completed files are considered under-replicated too quickly

> Key: HDFS-1172
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1172
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: name-node
> Affects Versions: 0.21.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
>
> I've seen this for a long time, and imagine it's a known issue, but couldn't
> find an existing JIRA. It often happens that we see the NN schedule
> replication on the last block of files very quickly after they're completed,
> before the other DNs in the pipeline have a chance to report the new block.
> This results in a lot of extra replication work on the cluster, as we
> replicate the block and then end up with multiple excess replicas which are
> very quickly deleted.
